I loved this piece for many reasons including the memories of the wrestling I have done during crises in the lives of my children when I felt helpless and scared and hated myself for not being confident and sure that things would work out. I also lived through many health issues with my husband including open heart surgery, implantable defibrillators, eventually, a heart transplant followed by the good fortune of twenty-two more years together. I want to put my arms around this father and tell him that there is hope and that others like me have gone down this road and can tell him that there is magic and hope to help with the agonies and fear.
